[slinkelist] Random play in newest version

[Jay Pfaffman]

I use a search which matches only songs which haven't been played for a
certain length of time (CDs added more recently are allowed to replay more
often), which I think solves the problem that you're talking about &
continues to work after you've played all the songs.  You can already get
exactly the effect you're talking about if you search on the number of
times played field.
